![]() If you write a lot of articles, then this will become a treasure trove of your most useful resources so that you don’t have to sort through piles of documents to find that one article that you keep referencing everywhere. It contains an Inbox for new material that needs to be sorted and a Reading List that shows you what you should read next.įurther down the page, you’ll see your Most Used Readings. Your Readings shows you various views of your sources, so that you can focus on what really matters: working through the list and using your insights for your writing projects. If you’ve ever struggled to organise your readings list or deal with all the material you’ve already worked through, then this is the section for you. Read on for more explanations or jump to the bottom of the page to get this ( free) Academic Writing in Notion Template And with this Academic Writing in Notion Template, you can easily master your reading list, set your writing project up for success and start connecting the dots. Luckily, Notion is absolutely amazing at organising any Academic Writing project. Needless to say, it wasn’t a very effective approach. I usually ended up writing notes in Word while copypasting links to sources in a frantic attempt to organise all my readings. And certainly no time to take a deep breath and look for a good system to do it all. No structure in place to sort what I’ve found. This template is now available to the public.You’ve got that paper to write but no idea where to start? You are drowning in literature that’s scattered all over the place? And you just don’t have a system to turn all your research into some tangible results? Whenever I had some sort of Academic Writing to tackle, it usually started with the feeling of being overwhelmed. Good news for the folks who have been looking for an advanced system to manage their novel writing. ![]() I can control what I want to see and track (and how). I absolutely love using Notion as a complete writing system because of how I can manage whole project ecosystems, not just the writing itself. This system works great for managing multiple projects and keeping views relevant to each project. When I’m done with a project, I archive it and it falls out of the active view. This rolls up to the project and calculates the total words, pages, and reading time. I copy the word count into the meta for the chapter. Notion has a handy word count feature under the ellipsis at the top-right of the page. I’ll keep copies of the chapter at each stage. Once the chapter is written I delete the sidebars, then copy/paste the chapter into a “First Draft” document to save for historical reference. I use a template to create chapter pages that includes a view of the plot cards for that chapter and my personal lexicon for reference. ChapterĬlicking into a chapter takes it another level deeper. A template sets up the project page in a couple of seconds, with all of the databases pre-filtered to the specific project. Here I can manage my characters, tasks, storyboarding, and revisioning/editing. ProjectĪll documentation specific to the project lives within the project page, using linked databases with filtered views. The more I write today, the less I need to write tomorrow. The daily word count target is dynamically calculated based on the target words for each project and the target completion date, so this goal number changes each day depending on how much writing I do. I also keep an overview of revision tasks here, and a daily word count tracker. This is the portal page to jump into a specific project. ![]() I use Notion now for all aspects of my writing projects, including research, world-building, character-building, storyboarding, tasks, revisioning, and editing. I’ve used it extensively, but it’s undergone some significant revision to expand to a more integrated, fully functional workspace for my writing. Once upon a time… I created a minimalist, distraction-free Notion template for writers that focused on just the words. By Jamie Butler in Templates on July 22, 2022
